Satisfaction can vary depending on each person’s 기준 for appearance. In these days, as it has become a trend to enhance a more likable image while preserving one’s individuality, more people are trying skin care, hairstyle changes, dieting, exercise, and similar efforts. However, even with these efforts, interest in cosmetic surgery is also rising for areas that are difficult to change.

Among various cosmetic procedures, the nose is located at the center of the face and is the most three-dimensional area, so even a small change in its shape can have a significant effect on improving one’s image. For that reason, it is one of the first procedures many people consider. On average, the bridge is corrected with silicone and the tip with autologous cartilage. If you are concerned about silicone and want to improve a complex more naturally, you may want to learn more about non-implant nose surgery.

Non-implant nose surgery is a procedure that corrects the overall nose line using autologous cartilage at the tip without using silicone in the bridge. Because it uses the patient’s own cartilage, the probability of inflammation is significantly lower, making it suitable for people who are sensitive to inflammatory reactions or prefer a natural-looking nose line.

The types of people who may need this kind of non-implant nose surgery can be divided in various ways. Examples include cases where the bridge is high but the tip droops, a hooked nose, a upturned or drooping tip, or a long nose with a downward tip. Since the surgical method and materials differ depending on each person’s condition, it is important to confirm your current condition accurately through a consultation.

Therefore, before proceeding with non-implant nose surgery, a preoperative examination is performed and the surgery is carried out with materials suited to the individual. The autologous cartilage used in non-implant nose surgery includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage. If using autologous cartilage is unavoidably difficult, donor rib cartilage can be used as a substitute.

There are two main approaches to non-implant nose surgery. One is for cases where the bridge is high enough that implants are not needed, and the other is for cases where the bridge is not a problem and only the tip correction is desired.

In cases where the bridge is high enough that an implant is not needed, if there is a hump, the hump can be removed and then the tip can be grafted with autologous cartilage to correct the overall nose line.

In cases where there is no major problem with the bridge and only tip surgery is desired, the overall nose line can be corrected through autologous cartilage at the tip.

In this way, non-implant nose surgery may feel less burdensome than full nose surgery. However, our nose is a functional organ responsible for breathing and smell, and nose surgery itself is considered a highly difficult procedure. Therefore, for those looking into non-implant nose surgery, it can be very helpful to check whether the medical team has strong anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have abundant relevant experience and expertise, whether equipment is available to accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether postoperative care is fully guaranteed.

At Nplus Clinic, to provide nose surgery suited to each patient, the clinic accurately assesses the condition of the nose through preoperative 3D-CT scans, multi-angle photography, internal endoscopic imaging, allergy testing, and internal functional tests. Based on the collected data, the surgical plan is established and carried out.

At Nplus Clinic, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally takes charge one-on-one and handles every step of the process directly, from consultation related to nose surgery to surgical planning, procedure, treatment, and follow-up visits, allowing patients to receive high-level medical service from before surgery through aftercare.

Postoperative care is also supported by an after-sales service system that guarantees one year after surgery, as well as a surgical responsibility guarantee system prepared for all possible situations such as postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the results, so you can be assured of thorough aftercare benefits after surgery.
